The SuperScript 870 Status Monitor continuously monitors this printer status information to keep you informed of what is happening with your printer. The detail of printer status depends on the way the printer is connected to the computer. • If the default printer is a SuperScript 870 printer and it is directly connected to your computer, the printer status information is very detailed, even pinpointing the specific nature of most printer errors. • If a SuperScript 870 printer is connected with a print sharing device, less detailed but still very useful printer status information is available, including printer error, paper out, busy, or ready. • If a non-SuperScript 870 printer is connected, no status information is available.
